This study was conducted to explore the necessary conditions and support for stable operation of an expanded AI curriculum in education. A high school that has implemented an AI curriculum since 2020 was targeted, and students and teachers were surveyed on their perceptions of the AI curriculum, implementation and support strategies. The survey items were categorized into 1) experience with AI education, 2) implementation direction of AI education, and 3) expected effects through AI education, and the results were derived focusing on frequency analysis to identify trends. The analysis resulted in three implications. First, it was suggested that the activation of AI education. Second, the need to develop a hands-on AI curriculum and incorporate AI throughout the entire curriculum was highlighted. Third, it was emphasized that efforts to enhance the capabilities of teachers to implement AI teaching and learning, along with the expansion of physical infrastructure for hands-on education, are necessary.

The purpose of this study was to develop an AI liberal arts subject for pre-service teachers of all majors in elementary and middle school. To this end, the main areas of the AI curriculum, sub-themes for each week, and activities were specifically designed and verified through two rounds of Delphi by 13 experts. The AI liberal arts curriculum in this study consists of three areas. Then, detailed topics for each week were confirmed, and a total of 13 weeks were arranged according to the natural flow. It was intended to help teaching and learning by arranging learning activities based on the experiential learning model according to the learning content. It is expected that this study will be used as basic data for the development of various AI education subjects for pre-service teachers in elementary and secondary schools in the future.

Rapid changes in modern society after the COVID-19 have highlighted artificial intelligence talent as a major influencing factor in determining national competitiveness. Accordingly, the Ministry of Education planned a large-scale SW·AI camp education project to develop the digital capabilities of 4th to 6th grade elementary school students and middle and high school students who are in a vacuum in artificial intelligence education. Therefore, this study aims to develop a camp-type SW·AI education program for students in grades 4-6 of elementary school so that students in grades 4-6 of elementary school can acquire basic knowledge in artificial intelligence. For this, the meaning of SW·AI education in elementary school is defined and SW·AI contents to be dealt with in elementary school are: understanding of SW AI, 'principle and application of SW AI', and 'social impact of SW AI' was set. In addition, an attempt was made to link the set elements of elementary school SW AI education and learning with related subjects and units of textbooks currently used in elementary schools. As for the program used for education, entry, a software coding learning tool based on block coding, is designed to strengthen software programming basic competency, and all programs are designed to be operated centered on experience and experience-oriented participants in consideration of the developmental characteristics of elementary school students. In order for SW·AI education to be organized and operated as a member of the regular curriculum, it is suggested that research based on the analysis of regular curriculum contents and in-depth analysis of SW·AI education contents is necessary.

This study aims to develop an AI education program for secondary school students to help understand AI and to provide an experience of solving real-life problems by using AI, and to analyze the effectiveness of education. The education program based on the AI education system for K-12 developed in the previous study was composed of a total of 12 lessons by selecting the self-driving cars, which is emerging as a recent issue among real life problems, as the main topic. Classes were conducted for secondary school students who had experience in software education, and the effectiveness of education and class satisfaction were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the understanding of AI and the sense of AI efficacy were improved, and the class satisfaction was high in all items such as educational content, fun in class, difficulty of class, and interest in AI. Based on these results, implications for AI education for secondary students were proposed.

Even though environmental education has been getting more attention along with the recent rapid increase of natural disasters such as heat wave, heavy snow and downpour, it is unlikely for elementary schools to provide actual lessons due to the shortage of financial support and educational resources. This study is designed to enhance the recycling judgement of the elementary students to define paper, glass, plastic, PET, metal by using AI programming. The survey from the student participants shows that the learning and practice with AI programming was positively helpful for more than 70% of the participants in knowledge obtaining and understanding of recycling. The participants also gained better understanding on artificial intelligence and got motivated to have more opportunities to learn artificial intelligence programming.

The aim of this study is to explore the pre-service math teachers' characteristics of education to develop their AI literacy and SW competency, and to derive some implications. We conducted a 14-hours AI and SW education program for pre-service teachers with theory and practice, and an analysis on class observation data, video frames of classes and interview, Python programming assignments and papers. The results of this case study for 3 pre-service teachers are as follows. First, two students understood artificial neural network and deep learning system accurately, furthermore, all students conducted a couple of explorations related with performance improvement of deep learning system with interest. Second, coding and exploration activities using Python improved students' computational thinking as well as SW competency, which help them give convergence education in the future. Third, they responded positively to the necessity of AI literacy and SW competency development, and to applying coding to math class. Lastly, it's necessary to endeavor to give a coding education to the student's eye level according to his or her prerequisite and to ease the burden of student's studying AI technology.

This study aims to enhance the cultivation of SW·AI basic competencies of middle school students by forming and distributing SW·AI education programs for middle school students who form the basis of their lives. In addition, by planning SW·AI education programs in connection with the regular curriculum, it is intended to serve as a cornerstone for the public education of SW·AI education that will be implemented from 2025. To this end, the concept of SW and AI in middle school was first defined and a plan to link software/artificial intelligence learning factors to the regular curriculum was proposed, and based on this, SW·AI education programs for middle school students were prepared. Based on literature research, the understanding of artificial intelligence technology, the value of data, and the use of artificial intelligence technology in real life were set as SW·AI education contents, and educational programs were organized by linking them with the current middle school curriculum. All SW·AI education was organized in the form of practice rather than theory so that classes could be conducted centered on participants, and the purpose of the course was to cultivate the ability to use artificial intelligence technology in real life based on understanding artificial intelligence technology.
